I'm not coming back and presenting anything, I'll leave that to you 'uni' wallahs who live out in the sticks or in the LOS.

 

I live in London which is now the knife and acid attack capital of Europe and where two knife murders have taken place within a mile of where I live in the last 10 days in streets I know and where I've been shopping.

 

I've therefore seen what a mess mass immigration has made of the place and the sooner we quit an EU which encourages such valueless immigration the better.

 

So you see you couldn't 'educate' me about zilch because you know nothing and have even less experience about real life. You learn very little sitting at a computer and typing for years on end. Where do you live and when did you last have a murder practically on your doorstep, 1968?

 

I very much doubt that you'd talk down to people to their face so why do you do it on an internet forum.

If you state nonsense, I shall respond appropriately. I speak truth at all times.

 

Maybe you could classify the awful people that upset you?

 

Young? Old?

White? Black?

British? Other EU, African? WI? South Asia?

No, you are quite wrong

 

I am not unpleasant to anyone (I lose patience with poorly informed Brexiters sometimes).

 

I would bias immigration to assist trade partnerships and to avoid social imbalance in our societies. My views are consistent with those aims.

 

Muslims have turned me to bigotry as I have learned more about their customs and social mores over the years. At least I can't be accused of hypocracy!

Stating that you prefer immigrants from the EU as they are, "more your type of people", is extremely unpleasant. Maybe it would take for you to get turned away from a country on the basis of you, "not being their kind of person", to understand how unpleasant what you are saying actually is.

 

As for a "biased immigration policy to assist trade partnerships", another way of putting that is, "an immigration policy that gives preferential treatment to an unskilled worker coming to find work in a field in which there is no shortfall, over and above a skilled worker coming to find work in a field in which there is a shortfall". That is the potential outcome of the immigration system you support.

 

I think the real reason why you like having a biased immigration policy is, for one, this particular biased immigration policy means you get the benefit of the reciprocal agreement that makes retiring in Europe much easier, and for two, the immigrants who get to benefit from the bias - otherwise known as discrimination - are, "your sort of people", and it helps keep out those who aren't.

Although that wasnt a lie , and it wasnt a promise , it was a suggestion as to how the savings COULD be spent .

But phrased in such a way that the average voter could be forgiven for believing it to be a commitment.

 

Hell, even now there are large numbers of people who appear to believe that a No Deal Brexit is nothing to fear because it means no Brexit.

"his kind of people" - as you put that in quotes you imply those are my precise words? I doubt that. Kindly provide a reference or withdraw.

I do feel that Europeans generally fit better into our society because they have more in common

I don't currently have the time to trawl back through pages and pages of threads to find your exact quote, but this is one that expresses the same sort of sentiment, and there are plenty of others.

 

Why bother denying something you openly admit to?

How it was phrased matters not one little bit, it is what was actually written, it said "lets fund our NHS instead," why is it just remainers that get confused over the wording. Could it have something to do with it fits their agenda and it's a dig at the leavers.

 

The Brexit bus incident happened over two years ago and quite frankly it has been discussed to death, it serves no purpose to keep bringing it up, there were many lies on the remain side too, but very rarely do leavers have the desire to remind the remainers of their prevarications, maybe leavers are more mature.????

Social mobility is essential in civilized societies and this can be lubricated by progressive taxation.

True, but zero mobility in the UK. Recognised as the most class conscious society in the Western World.

 

For top jobs, it's all about who you know, not what you know. Vey similar to Thailand. It holds Thailand back and it holds the UK back. 

 

It's easy to observe the phenomenon, both here and in the UK, that the higher up the social ladder you go, the less intelligent people appear to be.  The top of the social ladder in the UK are the Royal Family, who are highly educated simpletons. People all too often equate education with intelligence when, in fact, there is no correlation whatsoever.

Those were leftist rioters, the same crowd who want us to stay in Europe.

 

The worst riots ever seen in the UK were those carried out by young black men in the 1980s and again in 2011 when five people lost their lives.

 

Englishmen don't know how to riot and would not do so if they did.

Perhaps they would form a queue first and get a ticket to join in.

Recognised by the Indians perhaps?

A degree award may not necessarily signal above average intelligence but the ability of an individual to become educated to a certain level is partly proportional to his/her IQ.

I beg to differ. I've met some real halfwits with degrees.

Gawd. I refer to the Indians in INDIA, where the class/caste system sets the biggest divisions of a people of one nation that I have ever seen.   

Which is why I replied "Are Indians Westerners?". My original statement was "Britain is the most class conscious society in the Western World"

 

How many degrees have you got? 555

Here's some topical Red Meat :

BTW: She asked the audience and was told to sign. She then asked if anyone wanted to leave-One person did and was replaced.

I understand Brexiteers don’t like to refrain from hatred, harassment and abusive language. Good they didn’t add lies, conspiracy theories and hogwash to the list; I guess she would have left immediately.

Where is it 'our' country, what personal influence do you have? a cross on a bit of paper every 5 years and a letter to the BBC perhaps. The establishment rules and they don't sit in parliament, you are shafted every day you get up to go to work to travel on an expensive out of date late railway thankful that you aren't ill and have to wait months for a referral to a specialist who will take months to get you into hospital while being told to save more for your retirement when you can barely afford your living expenses.

Best keep a low profile there Prasat where farangs walk around with frowns all day long.

you think that Britain is strong enough to be alone ? we are in 2019 , British empire is finished long time ago 

But you still come running to little England when you want soldiers to fight in your wars..
